Recommended: Relevance of herzberg and m.c. gregor theories of motivation

My essay will focus on the introduction, the two motivational theories, the importance and consequences of teachers’ job satisfaction on how teachers will derive job satisfaction and dissatisfaction in teaching profession. Any disgruntled teachers who are not satisfied with their job, will not be committed and productive. Such teachers can’t be expected to perform at the best of their capabilities if they are not satisfied. Therefore, the essay will make emphasis on job satisfaction and dissatisfaction and concentrate on the Herzberg and Maslow theories, which they are “theory of needs and two factor theory or sometimes called “two hierarchy of needs.”

Therefore, job satisfaction and dissatisfaction will be discussed from theory of Maslow called “the theory of needs” and Herzberg’s theory is known as “two factor theory” or “hygiene theory”. In this regard, job satisfaction and dissatisfaction will critically assume that the school as an organisation manage the efficiency and the effectiveness of the teachers and school performance. In other to increase the effectiveness of school, teacher’s needs have to be met and this can be done through Herzberg and Maslow theory and this will have positive impacts on student’s educational achievement or learning outcomes and school academic performance. To support this, Herzberg, Mausner and Snyderman (1995), argued that, “in other to boost the productivity of employees in particular and organisation in general, it is important to increase the effectiveness of employees at work, so then the employees have positive attitudes towards their jobs.” Another scholar cited that, “the attitudes of employees towards their jobs and life do have an effect on the grade of job satisfaction they have (Her...

  • Frederick Herzberg Motivation Theory

    800 Words  | 2 Pages

    As with any theory, the motivator-hygiene theory has its share of criticisms. Among them is the lack of consideration for individual differences. Herzberg’s theory only takes into account internal organizational factors and does not consider personal attitudes and beliefs of one’s work. Moreover, the two-factor theory assumes that high job satisfaction equates to performance at work. This, however, does not hold true in many situations.(insert example) A highly satisfied, content, and happy worker is not necessarily the hardest worker in an organization.

  • Employee Motivation

    The first theory is the two-factor theory which was suggested by Fred Herzberg. "Herzberg was one of the first to suggest a model of the motivational properties of task design based on his two-factor theory of satisfaction." (Mowday & Steers) The study he conducted found that factors that led to satisfaction were different from those factors that led to dissatisfaction. For Herzberg's theory the two factors that effect motivation in the workforce are motivator factors and hygiene factors. Motivator factors, which were determined to be the satisfiers, dealt with the content of the job such as advancement, recognition, responsibility, and achievement. The dissatisfiers or hygiene factors pertained to job security, policies, working conditions, relationships with personnel. So according to Mowday and Steers, if one wishes to improve motivation and satisfaction, jobs should be designed to allow greater scope for personal achievement and recognition, more challenging and responsible work, and increased opportunities for advancement and growth.
